I'm definitely not a spiced rum fan, Sailor Jerry et al bore me, hitting you over the head with a nasty synthetic vanilla sweetness. So I figured how hard can it be?
In the interests of science I decided to have a crack at making my own, I like sweetness but want some other flavours in there as well so I'll add in some other elements to (hopefully) balance it out.
So here's the ingredients :
- 200ml white rum (Bacardi)
- zest of 1 lime
- half a cinnamon stick
- half a vanilla pod & seeds
- seeds from 2 passion fruits
- 1 lemon grass stick
I've no idea how this will work out but I think the lemongrass, lime and cinnamon will balance the sweetness of the vanilla and passion fruit but we shall see, I'm wary of the proportions but I'll leave it for 48 hours then taste and see what needs tweaking.
